				    <p>The User Guide provides Jikes™ RVM information that is not typically covered in published papers.  For high-level overviews, algorithms, and structures, you will find the <a href="http://docs.codehaus.org/display/RVM/Publications" title="Publications">published papers</a> to be the best starting place. The User Guide supplements these Jikes RVM papers, focusing on implementation details of how to build, run, and add functionality to the system.</p>

<p>You may find sections of the User Guide missing, incomplete or otherwise confusing. We intend this document to live as a continual work-in-progress, hopefully growing and maturing as community members edit and add to the guide.  Please accept this invitation to contribute.</p>

<p>Please send feedback, bug fixes, and text contributions to the mailing list. Constructive criticism will be cheerfully accepted.</p>
